315 PM CST FRI MAR 24 2006
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)...VIGOROUS COLD SURGE CONTINUES
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEPENING LOW MOVING OFF
THE EAST COAST. POTENTIAL VORTICITY BEING SLUNG AROUND THE BOTTOM OF
THE UPPER TROUGH AND DESCENDING BRINGING INCREASING UPWARD MOTION
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH AS AGEOSTROPHIC COMPONENTS
DEVELOP INDUCING FRONTOGENESIS. THE INCREASING AMPLITUDE OF THIS
BAROCLINIC WAVE IS BRINGING IN A SEEMINGLY RELENTLESS RIVER OF COLD
AIR BEHIND IT. THE BANDS OF CUMULI OFF THE BEACH ARE EVIDENT AS THE
COLD AIR TRAVELS OVER THE WARM WATER AND DESTABILIZES. BUT THERE IS
AN END IN SIGHT. MODELS MOVE BACK RETURN OF RETURN FLOW FROM EARLY
SUNDAY TO SUNDAY EVENING AND CONTINUING MONDAY AS THAT SURFACE HIGH
MOVES EAST OF US...ALBEIT MORE SLOWLY. IT SHALL BE A DRY WEEKEND.
TROUGH PASSING OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION LATE TUESDAY SENDS A WEAK
FRONT THROUGH US. FRONT IS STILL FORECAST NOT TO STALL OVER OR NEAR
